| Gender | Male |
|---|---|
| Occupation | Thoroughly Retired Lawyer; Occasional Musician |
| Location | In Partibus Infidelium, a.k.a. California, United States |
| Introduction | Self-absorbed, promethean, Neo-Pelagian, Restorationist, Triumphalist, Rosary Counter, Liturgical Obsessive, Sad Christian, Fundamentalist, Slave to Fashion . . . and much else: see latest papal statement for more. Otherwise, of Irish & Scottish descent; former paper boy, dishwasher, mail boy, file clerk, procedures analyst, and corporate attorney. Now occasional piper when the tremors hold off, scribbler and appallingly bad gardener. Also learning the melodeon since August 2014 . . . a G/C Weltmeister. |
| Interests | It should be obvious from the left hand side of the blog itself. |
| Favorite Movies | Gods and Generals, You Can't Take it With You, Tovarich, It Happened One Night, Rio Grande, Fort Apache, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, True Grit(the real one with John Wayne), The More the Merrier, The Quiet Man, The Third Man, The Searchers |
| Favorite Music | Current favourite is Green Ginger -- that's the group that plays Scottish country dance music. Apparently there's another group about that, well, doesn't. And lately Oesch's Die Dritten, Geschwister Weber, and Kobenzer Streich . . . stumbled upon them on You Tube looking for melodeon players which none of them are. YT's bizarre algorithms are serendipitously handy on occasion. |
| Favorite Books | In Our Convent Days, Divine Worship: Daily Office, Maurice and Thérèse: Story of a Love, Pardon and Peace (Alfred Wilson C.P.), [The ones that used to be here are still faves. But these are what's on the desk at the moment.] |
